Steph M Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Does anyone know if growing calendular flowers to infuse into warm water for skin irritations has the same benefit as buying the tea? There's a store selling 200 seeds for $4, which seems like a good investment if it works. Wonder if there's a specific variety? Also not sure if this should be here, Off Topic or the garden thread! Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbi Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) I grow Calendulas, happy orange flowers that self seed year after year. I let some flowers go to seed on the plants and pick some, drying them on an old flyscreen to let the air circulate and prevent mould. Once they are dried I store them in a large glass jar. When I require some calendula tea I just steep 3-4 flowers in boiling water. All varieties of calendula have the same medicinal value I believe.
